PART 1

Observe

What do you notice? What children’s learning, strengths and interests do you see? What is extraordinary in ordinary interactions?

Question and Analyse

What do you understand about what you observed? What are the interests and strengths of child/ren observed? What learning is being demonstrated?

What can you extend on? Suggest one experience. Link the information to EYLF learning outcomes and sub-outcomes (max 2).

Implement

Provide a step-by-step guide of how the learning experience will be implemented, including how you will set up the learning environment. How will the environment support learning? What resources will you need?

Pedagogical strategies: How will you engage children? What strategies you might use to promote children’s interest, play and learning? (Modelling, scaffolding, open ended questions etc).

Review and reflect

Review: What worked well? What can you improve? Do you need to add or remove resources? How will you follow up?

Reflect: What did you learn about yourself and your practice? Will you make any changes as result?
